In a nutshell

Upon opening this was one of the best men's department store ranges and experiences, but over time it's become more normal than 'wow'

In their words

"For more than 100 years, we've been committed to helping our customers express their own unique styles. This commitment has taken us from a small shoe store in Seattle to where we are today—proudly serving customers across the country. We can't wait to serve you in NYC!"

Visit Field notes

The fizz has gone after the opening years, but it's still a competent, on-brand edit of menswear. Worth visiting in passing, but not the agenda-setter it was at launch. Initially each mat featured either customisation, digital innovations or omnichannel prowess. In addition the corner entrances were replete with 'concept experiences' and brand lanches. Now it's racks of clothing (on the northern entrance) and a small cafe corner/corridor on 57th. There are still good brands present, but the experience no longer stands out. The in-store tailoring and Barbour re-waxing services are useful, but don't have the theatre of the at-launch customisations and services.
